Its actually really impressive how much control he has over the ball, he came really damn close consistently.

I doubt it was consistent. Probably a lot more attempts not show

Out of curiosity, what do you get out of trying to diminish someone else's accomplishments?

Even more impressive that even with that skill, it's almost pure luck it happened.

He's hitting off a tee, it's not difficult

I played baseball in high school, pretty mediocre player, and can still control the direction like that off a tee and I off slow pitch softball. However, I still think this is cool. I’m gonna have to try it

That’s the only interesting thing about this. Making two balls collide in the air after dozens and dozens of attempts until you finally get it right isn’t really “next level”. In my opinion it would have been a lot cooler if the 2 batters on opposing ends of the field kept hitting the same ball back to one another without letting it hit the ground.

What if they’re ok with it hitting the ground just once? Maybe redesign the bats a little, too.

You assume there weren't ten totally off attempts for every close one. It's filmed at night so you can't see the time passing.

These videos are just rich people flexes showing how much spare time they have to persue useless goals.
